ELLE France is not really a « fashion » « fashion » magazine…Well after weeks and weeks of amazing covers. I guess it bound for one to be a complete and utter dud. Like man you can have the article in it, but the cover is like first and foremost meant to be the focus of magazine. Unless they've decided to not be a fashion magazine anymore.
If anything what about protesting the suppression of women at home and France's illiberal approach to women who just simply prefer to wear clothing as per their religious traditions?
Exactly, ELLE France is a weekly lifestyle magazine for women.To me, French Elle is a weekly lifestyle magazine for women, and coverage of current affairs fall within that remit.
We're become so used to major fashion magazines lecturing us about issues in superficial ways - we're Vogue and we say the all right things! - that we've come to see every women's magazine as being on the same level, even when reportage has been appearing on their pages for decades, and they retain the same editorial values as they always have.
I see that is understandable.ELLE France is not really a « fashion » « fashion » magazine…
They do have fashion issues and fashion content but it’s not really the same direction as it US edition…
And historically, ELLE is positioned on the left side in terms of politics. They are doing reportages and things like that.
The cover is really « on brand ». It does the job.
